"How we understand class shapes who gets listened to & what solutions are put on the table. Taking class seriously means critically examining who holds power...as well as whose knowledge & experience is treated as legitimate. ...If we are seeking to dismantle oppressive...institutions...then we have got to be prepared to be uncomfortable at certain stages..."

There have never been enough living wage jobs in the US for every working age adult who needs one.
That's the way they suppress wages and oppress workers - by not staffing their businesses fully and making one person do the work of two or three.
The reason? So shareholders can get another couple of cents worth of dividends every quarter.

On June 19, 1865, enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their #freedom—two years after the #EmancipationProclamation. #Juneteenth is a reminder that #justice delayed is justice denied.
Today, we honor the resilience of all who have fought for freedom. But we also recognize that the struggle is ongoing for #truefreedom: #economicjustice, #votingrights, #healthcare, #livingwages, and #dignityforall.

Absolutely.
If you aren't paying your employees living wages, you're nothing but a plantation owner in drag who is cosplaying "business owner" because you're incompetent and/or greedy. You are a sh!t person.
People have a basic human right to living wages for each hour of their life that they have to give to your business. They can't get that hour back, and you don't deserve it.
You don't deserve to live off of other people's work.

I can't understand how christianity came up with the obviously false claim that people's lives don't have value unless they're making money for some corporation.
Predatory capitalism is a sin, not a virtue.
And like the rest of christianity's disgusting beliefs, this one needs to be flushed down the toilet.
Instead, christians are doubling down on efforts to kill off the elderly, disabled, the poor, and unemployed who are "useless eaters."
It's vile.

Kentucky's plan is apparently to be the 3rd world backwater of the US to attract wall street projects that want sub-living wage workers.
https://sherwood.news/personal-finance/which-21-states-kicked-year-off-by-raising-minimum-wage/
Over a third of Kentucky's supposed population "growth" was in the elderly who can't or won't leave. The rest is mostly unwanted kids & under-educated young people who can't find god jobs b/c they were taught fairy tales instead of science.

When a "boss" pays Minimum Wage, all they are saying is "I'd pay you less but I'm afraid of being raped in a prison shower"

#Democrats Deserted the #WorkingPoor:
Bishop #WilliamBarber on #Healthcare, #LivingWages and #VotingRights -
Under the looming christo-fascist regime run by deranged puritans who are into plantations, slavery & oppression, jobs are going to suck. Worker rights are going to be eliminated.
People who want a decent way to earn a living will need to avoid right wing employers like the plague, and be self employed or create worker co-ops.

I would like to see every corporation receive a bill each month from every city, county, state and federal agency that provided benefits to any of their employees (without naming them, of course). It's time to stop letting them externalize their labor costs.
And if they they don't pay up, the secretary of state dissolves their corporation and makes them not eligible to do business in the state status. Very simple.

Confused about how much to #tip? This article is the only 1 I’ve read that helped:
How to deal with unexpected tip requests
and other tricky tipping topics : Life Kit
https://www.npr.org/2024/03/26/1196978930/new-rules-tipping-etiquetteIt contains a tool to check the minimum & #subminimum #wages in your state. Other tips (pun intended:) include asking your #server if they get to keep the whole tip & how to make sure the server actually gets the tip (spoiler: cash$)

Failing #DollarStores is a good thing. Now if we could only change the entire concept of #stocks and #shareholders to prevent a ridiculous focus on growth & numbers to building sustainable #businesses that pay #LivingWages and are not focused on squeezing profit from a stone.

Attention, Gen Z! With TikTok facing a potential ban in the US, it's crucial to have a backup plan for digital activism. Let's ensure platforms like TwitterX and Facebook don't aid in helping Trump get back in the Oval Office as well as abet right-wing political shifts that don't align with your values. Keep advocating for #VoteBlue, #ClimateAction, #StudentLoanForgiveness, #LGBTRights, #LivingWages, #GunControl, #SavePalestine, #BlackLivesMatter, and #SaveTikTok. Let's spread hope, not hate!

It's good to see that the NYC Drivers' Cooperative is doing well and is ready to help Minneapolis drivers organize a sustainable ride-hailing service in Minnesota.
They need to move quickly, because Uber and Lyft are planning to drop support for Minneapolis on May 1, when a new minimum wage ordinance goes into effect. They are crowdsourcing funds to cover startup costs, including customizing the NYC-focused ride-hailing app for use in Minneapolis.
If you can help, donations are being collected here:

Our 4H cooking club agreed to do only one fundraiser a year to raise the money they need to run the club. I have been tiredless promoting my work every day and often wish how nice it would be to only have that certain one time in the year I could make all the income to cover my expenses, pay my bills and have a bit extra to enjoy life. I would rather create art than spend time marketing any day. #artistlife #artbusiness #livingwages

As seen on #maddowshow tonight
Recent Gallup poll reveals: U.S. Approval of #LaborUnions at Highest Point Since 1965.
71% of Americans now approve of labor unions. It is our best tool to combat the #greedflation that is lining corporate shareholders pockets and stripping us of our buying power. #Unions result in better benefits and #LivingWages for workers.

Why is it legal to withhold pay from employees who don’t return uniforms? How is that not theft?
I just watched a Dunkin Donuts manager (NOT the owner) inform a new employee of this policy on their first day.
How is a uniform not simply cost of doing business? They already don’t pay a living wage, and they start the relationship with this immediate threat.
Fuck corporations and shareholders.

That we start paying all employees #LivingWages is so important. Does anyone know another IT company besides Fairphone that focuses on living wages for people in production chains?

@missladyartemis I fully agree. This runaway #capitalism and CEO greed needs to be taken care of. Fair, #livingwages are a must!
